Inadi wasn't sure what was causing him to be more confused after he stood up from the position he and Jasper were in just a few moments prior. The fact that Jasper had hugged him so tightly on the ground or how Lesley seemed to approach them after he saw what they were doing. To be honest he was more intimidated than anything simply because Les seemed to be trying to rip into something there for a moment. His memory immediately shot back to the mushroom man he had fought back in Sol as they made their way to the cave to find the baby dragon. He brushed it aside however. Sure it was intimidating, but Inadi just assumed it was because Lesley was prepared to fight whatever may have grabbed Jasper. The two seemed to be getting along quite well back when they were conversing with the dragon as the two seemed to talk for a good while back there. He smiled and gave Lesley a salute in thanks as Harper gave him a pat on the back.

Turning to the boy he returned the gesture with a quick and friendly smack to the chest. “No problem there captain. Especially with how thick the rest of the forest is coming up,” Inadi told him as he pointed up towards the rest of the path. “It could take us a while to navigate through this whole shrub infested wood. Might have been better off taking the long way round if we could.” Inadi told him as he looked at the end of his spear and noticed some of the vines he had cut down were still on it. He began picking them off as the rest of the group began to trudge forward. Haku naturally threw out some stupid quip towards Jasper that he didn't appreciate, but he decided to leave it be.

Following Harper and the rest of the group, he noticed that Martini and Lesley seemed to be almost attached at the hip through the brush. Granted it was a scary place but there was no need to over do it. The more they got scared of what wasn't around them, the longer the trudge was going to be. And the same went for Jasper who seemed to be following him like a kindergartner follows her classmates on a field trip. She was so jumpy at all the little twigs and leaves that were around Inadi couldn't help but give a quick chuckle. Turning his head towards her while keeping up with the group, he gave her a smile to try and brighten her spirits. “Come now Jasper, it's just some twigs and leaves. Nothing to get to antsy over. But if you need to I can carry you piggy back style through the thick part if that will make it any better,” He joked as he turned his head further back towards where Lesley was in relation to the group. “I know Lesley wouldn't mind getting carried again. Seems like something you'd enjoy considering our last trek up that mountain a few days ago.” He said in a bit of a louder voice as he smiled back at him.

Turning his eyes back to Jasper he gave her a quick look of confidence and nodded at her. “As long as you're nearby we won't let anything happen to you. I promise I'll do whatever I can to help.” The framed man said as he continued forward, now throwing his spear out just a bit further ahead now so that the vines overhead wouldn't spook the albino girl behind him or the resident pink-haired wonder that was Lesley as well.

After a few more steps Riley had mentioned that there was now a new tree right in the middle of the trail behind them. Inadi began getting worried again as he gripped his spear a little tighter and looked around him. He remembered people mentioning red eyes in the woods earlier in the trek and now was beginning to think this was some kind of trap someone was setting. As Brandy began suggesting that they apologize to the trees Inadi rolled his eyes and sighed. These were trees, not some kind of creature that could be spoken to. Sure there were dragons, he'd give them that, but talking trees....

Inadi quickly showed a scowl of frustration, yet also there was a sign of mental defeat as the trees suddenly began to talk to them and had a voice similar to the old folks that lived in the apartment next door to him. Talking about vandalizing it and disrespecting it for snapping a branch that Leila had stepped on earlier. Silently wishing he could get an apology from the trees for leaving a root exposed that left him wondering how big the welt on the back of his head was going to grow, he decided against it as the tree seemed to get much more pissed off than it was already. Yep, now it was definitely like his old neighbors back home.

When the trees began giving their 'advice' for the witches, that was when Inadi decided this was the best time to simply forget that these things had even decided to make themselves seen. Following Riley and Jasper, Inadi threw his spear over his shoulders and gave a quick wave to those who were still behind him. “If you guys want to knew where we will be, just head up the trail. Hopefully those old petrified pieces of book shelves don't keep you too long.” He yelled back with a laugh as he picked up his speed to catch up with the others.

Inadi decided to let Harper handle the vines for the most part since he had cut Jasper out earlier, and besides his weapon wasn't really meant for the whole clearly a path thing, even with the new sharpened edge. The hook would maybe get caught in a branch and a whole new set of old crones made of wood would start yelling at them again. They eventually found their way out in front of a mansion that looked very.....welcoming he supposed. A lot more welcoming than the rest of the forest, though that wasn't saying much. Inadi's sleeveless arm was beginning to show signs of exposure as the color began shifting to a blueish tint. He was getting cold and he was getting cold quick because of the rain. 

Walking now with Ace up to the front of the house he seemed to agree with each word she exclaimed about it. Dark. Creepy. Maybe even a bit haunted by the look of it. In his mind he already knew, sleep would not come easy in this place. Turning towards Ace he gave her a quick shrug. “Oh well, any port in a storm I suppose. Better just go in and pick the least dusty part of the place first if you can,” Inadi said as he looked back towards Lesley and Martini. “Hopefully it isn't too dull of a place for you two. Personally it seems a bit homely at first, but I'm sure inside you two will do just fine,” He told them with a laugh as he started his next sentence directed to the group as a hull, though he didn't sell it that way as he kept staring towards the direction of the two he had just referenced. “Again, it's better that we stick together so we should probably stay as close as possible if we can.” He announced as he began noticing Lesley walking a little bit faster towards him.[url=https://24.media.tumblr.com/42466c76890349e268684ac03700c1b0/tumblr_mupclsgox01qkcwzfo2_r1_500.gif] A nervous face and blush came upon him [/url]as he began dreading the next move by Lesley.
